Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 The Intrada sale has begun.Not really a sale, with not so many titles, but whatever. I'll pick up the Treasure Of The Four Crowns by Morricone. I was going to add it to my next SAE batch, but now I don't have to I recommend that those who have not picked up the Williams titles do so now.

ManofDestiny 72 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Ordered The Blue and the Gray, First Olympics, Jungle all the way and Monsignor. These titles I planned to buy within this month or the nest, so a sale would be just good timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I picked up How to Steal a Million when it cost about $25 so this is a steal. You'd be getting three (short) scores for that price. They're nice light jazzy listens, from a mostly unfamiliar era in JW's library.Looking at Hedji's list, I do enjoy Hellfighters more than I thought I would.I'm tempted to get Species but won't. I must learn control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,154 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Me too, brother. I gotta be careful because I'm planning on Spartacus and most likely the imminent Summer goodness from LLL and FSM (Poltergeist?) in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 No, it's because I already want to buy The Edge and Mr. Atlas. Maybe Speed 2 but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 My list is already mental. I only recently got round to buying BTTF and The Goonies. The Edge is there, Star Trek: DE if it doesn't sell out, The Spiral Road, Rocky IV, Black Sunday, and that only scratches the surface. Yikes.

Andy 4,154 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yep, I put off the Edge also. Still haven't gotten Islands in the Stream. I'm guilty putting off purchases if edition sizes are comfortably large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Does anyone else recommend How to Steal a Million? It's the only score in the sale I'm considering buying.It depends. Do you like any of JW's stuff from the 60s? If so, you should like How to Steal a Million. If you're unfamiliar with his output from that decade, Steal a Million and Guide for the Married Man (along with Lost in Space) are the perfect introduction.

Marian Schedenig 8,218 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm tempted to get Species but won't. I must learn control.It's a great score though. My favourite by Young. And one of my favourite tracks on the Intrada release never was on the promo.Luckily there's nothing of interest in this sale for me which I don't already have. Hoping Mr. Atlas lasts until the upcoming big Varese announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,218 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Drag Me to Hell is nice enough and has cool main/end titles. But somehow, it never really stands out for me. I'd put Species one league higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,416 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 First clue for July 6th release:Okay, just back from a long trip to Israel and what happens while I'm gone? Varese releases SPARTACUS. Imagine that! There will be one Special Collection release next week. Limited to 1500 units. I'll have to think about a clue. Or a clip or something. Still trying to adjust to life in the real world.

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 1500 for Family Plot?This board would erupt much like the Spartacus thread at FSM. With the description Doug gave I'm thinking Jerry Fielding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'm gonna laugh hysterically the day that Family Plot is released and the full score is in mono. I can all ready see the bitching on this board ensuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'll happily take a mono Family Plot score! That sort of stuff doesn't bother me that much. I'd love a FP release but at 1,500?

Corellian2019 386 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Wonder what the "lavish 80s production" could be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,707 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 'Lavish' and 'Signature edition' go together rather oddly. I guess it was just a smaller project for the composer. Unfortunately there's only one 80s title I knowingly want and it wouldn't be signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,416 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The full clue isWith your help we managed to make room for new stuff. The special sale is over and our typical pattern for new Intrada releases is now back in effect. So plan on checking out our site this coming Monday evening (July 5) and consider our two newest titles going on sale Tuesday, July the 6th. One hails in our Special Collection and features seventies music by one of our most popular composers. The other title goes with the Signature Editions and offers 2-CDs worth of music from a lavish 1980's production. We hope you find one or both titles to be of interest!The Signature Editions are always impossible to guess, the titles are always so obscure. So even though its "lavish", and is long enough to warrant 2 CDs, that doesn't narrow it down to me at all. It's proably something I've never heard of.The 1CD Special Collection at 1500 units is likewise also something I'll probably have no interest in. It's probably a Jerry Fielding or Lee Holdridge or one of those other composers I'm completely unfamiliar with, to a movie I've never seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corellian2019 386 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 It was only a promo.Anyway, I hope the "lavish" 80s title could turn out to be something by Vangelis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 If you want to see the sh*t hit the fan just watch if only 1000 copies of YSH is released.The promo was only 500 copies and it was made available some 10 years ago. I would think this would warrant at least 2000 units. Although I'm not privy to the financial licensing details but Broughton does sell well for them.

Jay 37,416 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I've heard great things about Young Sherlock Holmes, but never seen the movie or heard the score. What scores is it similar in style to, so that I may get an idea of whether or not I should try tracking it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,154 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Young Sherlock Holmes the movie, feels very much like a Harry Potter prequel, cross pollinated with Temple of Doom. It's a lot of fun. The score is also a joy. There are some wonderful stately English themes for Holmes, a delightful "mystery" theme, and a vocal cult theme reminiscent of O Fortuna. Broughton was in his full on Williams clone mode, and does a fine job with it. It's one of those examples of Broughton being able to bring the best out of an orchestra. It's a grail of mine, having missed the promo.As much as I want it to be YSH, I cannot imagine them only releasing 1000 of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
